Mining investors such as Blackrock and Anglo Pacific seeking predictable returns and better cash flows are stepping into mine royalty agreements. These deals offer cash in exchange for a share of future revenues. For investors, a royalty deal means regular future payments and the ability to benefit from a rise in commodity prices, an increase in reserves or better production capacity. All with arguably less risk than a share investment and no exposure to pitfalls like poor dividends, or cost inflation. For miners, the advantage is a source of upfront cash with less dilution than through selling shares at depressed prices. (VIEW LINK)
